Clean, loved being right on the beach and the pool was great, the lanai was really nice…had to request a hair dryer, and one day I had to call to get the room cleaned by later in the afternoon. I thought $4 for a cup of coffee in the lobby while we were checking in after a full day of travel was a bit greedy especially because we paid a resort fee on top of a not cheap room rate. That could have and should have been complimentary. Bar food was great outside. Was here years ago, much upgraded and will definitely come again.

We just returned from Sanibel and stayed at the Sanibel Inn. The property was recently renovated and the rooms were great! Very clean with a beautiful view of the ocean. The staff was extremely helpful and provided towels, chairs and umbrellas for the beach. The landscaping was beautiful. We would definitely recommend this property. It was perfect for our stay!

Little black bugs on bedside table. I killed 5 of them. Also, there was always hair in the tub. When I arrived (Someone else’s). And my own after cleaning. One day the room wasn’t cleaned or fresh towels. I had run out of towels and called housekeeping at 4pm. She came and was very nice and cleaned my bathroom and got me towels.
